Yes, another laid back outfitey post. Since I’ve been very busy fixing our new home, I’ve been wearing comfortable outfiteys lately. As a mother sometimes when your day is full, you can’t help but throw in together a look that need no thinking. Like a shirt and shorts look, wherein anyone can get away with. As much as I wanted to do that I try to limit, I for one am doing this not just for myself but for you my dear readers as well. (But if you insist, I can also post a very very simple look, one that all of us have in our closets 😉 )

For today’s key piece, I give you another version of the cropped pants.

green is in! :p

Yes, I’m sporting my bangs! LOL

As you can see, my cropped pant’s material is a soft silky cotton (sorry, not really familiar with it) which is usually used if you want to look dressier (if you’re channeling that corporate look). If you want your outfitey to look relaxed and casual, pair it like it I did (with a plain shit or tank top). If you find your look too boring, pair it with a printed shoes or sandals to give an instant “oomph” in it! heehee 😉

THE OUTFITEY:

Green V neck shirt: Forever 21

Gray bandeau: Regatta

Gray cropped pants: bought from a seller in Multiply, around P350? (sorry I forgot her exact website :|) but I think I saw the exact pants over at Crossings Department store (but they’re selling it for P700+ yikes, double the original price)

Moccasins are back! (have they ever left in the first place?) I love how classic items are being reinvented, fashion indeed is evolving. For a shoe lover like me, I can honestly say there’s more to shoes than being just all pretty. And yes, sometimes I unconsciously judge a person based on his/her shoes. (Sorry naman, tao lang!) But seriously, there’s a lot to say about someone who has nice shoes. It may not be expensive but the style & heel are always important (okay, I will make a post about shoe 101 soon 😉 )

So for today’s key piece, I believe you already know what: Moccassin shoesay.

Mocca Moccasins! LOL

What’s good about this tan-colored moccasin is that you can actually pair it with anything! Bongga! 😉 Again, like I said, wearing shoes in tan, brown or nude makes your legs look longer (feeling taller naman ako! ;p). Since the shoe is simple, it’s nice to pair it with printed tops, dress of bottoms to give variety to your oufitey.

A person seen wearing this emulates he’s cool & he knows how to carry himself, that’s what wearing a blazer can do. Hollywood stars pair it with almost anything and still they can get away with it. Korean fashion have played around with it adding different designs, colors, accessories even textures to it. Indeed blazer is an outfitey key piece, it is part of every person’s wardrobe. It is essential when one has to immediately look polished without trying to look too polished. Get what I mean? A Blazer can spice up any outfit and you can wear it from a casual setting to an evening affair. That’s why I’ve gotten to love this key piece as well.

blah-zer

This is one of those quick pulled-together outfitey that can really work. If you’re in a rush and need to dress up but you’re too lazy to mix and match then wearing a blazer is the way to go! This is one of those days that I am terribly lazy and eating out in a (not at all) fancy restaurant need not a well-thought outfitey.

THE OUTFITEY

Black tent top: Maldita

Tan blazer: Emporio Armani (from Ebay!)

Gray shorts: Old Navy (Greenhills Tiangge, woot!)

Leopard sandals: Schu (currently my fave)

That’s all!

ooo,

J.

Today’s Outfitey is brought to you by my good friend Enya Herrera. The key piece for this outfitey is printed boyfriend shirt. Boyfriend shirt has become an essential part of a girl’s wardrobe. It’s very easy to pair and very versatile too.

Here’s a good example on how to wear print on print. You can opt to pair a bright-colored printed top with a dark-colored ballet flats. Since Enya‘s petite she gets most of her cute & adorable clothes from the teens section, an advantage indeed!

Boots like any other shoes are essential to ones shoe collection. It is a very versatile piece that can go with almost any outfit.

I have a love affair with Dr. Martens boots. I remember back in grade school that it was one of those “it” shoes. Aside from its durability, DMs (as what it popularly called) had always been a classic favorite, its rubber soles are tried & tested to be slip proof (a plus for someone who’s a clumsy *ahem*). And now, more people are beginning to appreciate its beauty.

So for today’s outfitey, I give you my first look on how to wear/pair them in any regular looking outfits.

Floral Power! :p

I specially love wearing these during the rainy season and come Christmas time, it just feels perfect wearing it on such weather & event. Dr. Martens boots may appear “manly” especially if it’s a 6 or 8 eyelet black one. So I suggest you experiment and pair it with more girly clothes. You wouldn’t want to look all grudge-y and emo (not unless you really want to) by pairing it with dark-colored clothes as well. But if you plan on doing so, better be sure to put a little color to it through accessories to get that girly feminine look. In this outfitey, the floral print on my dress & the pink colored lips I sported makes it look feminine. 😉

I hope eventually I get to “collect” few more DM boots. I specifically love the floral prints, metallic colors & their collaboration with Sanrio. Check out their website for more of their products Dr. Martens Airwair- Shoes, Boots and Sandals.
